New Delhi: Delhi BJP workers on Tuesday held a protest outside Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's residence demanding action against AAP leader Kumar Vishwas in the wake of a complaint by a party volunteer accusing him of not rebutting "rumours" about an illicit liaison with her.

The protesters also tried to break barricades outside Kejriwal's residence. The Delhi Commission for Women yesterday had issued summons to Vishwas and his wife, asking them to appear before it today after the volunteer approached it seeking its intervention in forcing the AAP leader to dispel the allegations.

Asked about the woman's claim that her husband had left her because of the rumours about her relationship with him, Vishwas cited, "What sort of husband he is who needs a character certificate for his wife from another person."

Delhi Police said it has already registered an FIR and investigation was underway on the complaint filed by the woman.
